I had the pleasure of attending the 2019 US Conference on AIDS as part of NMAC’s Youth Scholars program. I couldn’t describe how inspired I was by my peers during this conference. I was fortunate to spend the weekend with around twenty-five young persons, like myself, who were all immensely passionate about playing their part in the movement to end the HIV epidemic. Tears were almost brought to my eyes while these brave young men and women shared their stories with the group. I realized then that ‘power’ was not a trait to be given to you, but it comes to you when you have the strength to stand up and tell your own story.
I left the conference with twice the amount of knowledge about HIV/AIDS, but also with substantial information on what it takes for ME to become a leader in my society, advocating for ANY issue. We had the opportunity to partake in “Getting the Gig Bootcamps”, “Leadership Workshops” and “Emotional Intelligence” seminars--all of which were equally as beneficial to myself and my peers.
